Houston floods: Don’t waste resources on the dishonest (at best) Red Cross. Here are better ways to help
Do your research before donating to any charity
This weekend, at least five were killed and dozens injured after Hurricane Harvey smashed into parts of Houston region with brutal winds and 24 inches of rain. As The Atlantic explains, in the disaster that has been compared to Katrina and Sandy, “the heaviest cost of Harvey’s destruction is likely going to be borne by the most vulnerable communities in its path”—older, disabled, and of color.
In an effort to help out, many will turn to the most visible name for relief efforts: The Red Cross.

Black Girls Code founder turns down ‘tone-deaf’ $125,000 grant from Uber
This! ALL OF THIS!!
After former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick joined #45’s advisory council, and engineer Susan Fowler alleged sexual harassment and a culture of misconduct at the company, the ride-share service faced a P.R. nightmare that they have since been eager to clean up. First, they hired a Black woman, Bozoma Saint John, as chief brand officer. Then they replaced Kalanick with an anti-Trump CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi. Now, they are putting money into tech organizations centering on women—but for one of those organizations, Black Girls Code, it’s too little to late.
When Uber offered $125,000 last week, the pioneer for diversity in STEM fields turned it down.
“My decision is layered,” Black Girls Code founder Kimberly Bryant told TechCrunch. “I’ve been quite open for some time about the fact that we as an org use Uber as a tool. We’re also headquartered in the city [Oakland] where they have planned to move. So I’ve been open to the notion that they can transform themselves. Yet their past history and ‘political’ nature of maneuvering is and was troubling…

Sex Offender Impersonates Officer To Rape Woman
You would think some sex offenders would try their best to stay out of trouble but I guess that’s wishful thinking.
A sex offender is now back in custody after he impersonated an officer to kidnap and rape a woman in Mississippi. Louis Winston Scott, 44, was arrested Monday afternoon after two incidents where he tried to used red and blue flashing lights to pull over women.
The first incident happened early Saturday morning. The victim said she noticed a black car behind her with flashing red and blue police lights so she pulled over. The suspect pulled his vehicle up next to the woman’s and yelled at her before driving off.
Less than an hour later a similar situation took place with another woman. She noticed the same black car and pulled over. The suspect made her get out the car at knifepoint and made her get in his car. He then took her to a remote area where he sexually assaulted her then took her back to her car.
The suspect was captured Monday in the woods behind his home. He was charged with one count of rape and kidnapping and attempted kidnapping. Scott could also face charges for impersonating a police officer.

Scott Baio’s wife tells Sandy Hook mom her child is better off dead than living with her ‘ugliness’
Renee Baio, wife of actor Scott Baio, is catching hell for a tasteless tweet she fired at Nelba Marquez-Greene, the mother of a child slain in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, according to Mediaite.com.
Scott Baio recently came under fire for suggesting that the death of Heather Heyer was a staged “false flag” operation and accusing Heyer’s mother of being a “crisis actor” hired by the government. He posted a photo of Heyer’s mother next to a photo of the mother of slain Sandy Hook teacher Vicki Soto.
After an angry reaction, Baio deleted the post and apologized, but the social media sniping hasn’t stopped. When Marquez-Greene upbraided Renee Baio for her husband’s disregard for the feelings of Heyer’s family and Sandy Hook survivors, Mrs. Baio got downright hateful.
“I’m sorry 4 your loss @Nelba_MG however, maybe your children are in a better place. Your ugliness knows no bounds! I’ll pray for you,” she wrote.
The online rebukes were swift in coming and brutal in tone.
Renee Baio even your own god would disavow you.
What you said to a woman who lost her child is revolting.
You should be ashamed of yourself— IMHIM (@ziyatong) August 26, 2017
